Upcycling a Child's Chair

by Jill F

I got this cute child's chair from a photographer friend who no longer used it fora photo prop. While it was cute and solid and still had plenty of use left I felt it needed something to freshen it up. So I added some paint in a fun pop of color!

The before - cute shape and definitely still very useable but it was just begging for a paint makeover!

The green color is so fresh and fun - and totally a great piece now for any little girl! See the full photo on the blog.

Because a metal spindle was missing in the back I thought it needed something to add a bit of pizazz to the back. So I created a quick bunting with bakers twine and white muslin and tied it to the chair back. This project was simple, quick, and fun but has amazing before and after power!

  @Down to Earth Holly thanks! It's a great color and is pretty versatile - it looks great with white or dark wax and you can do a lot with it!
